Hanwha Eagles Mun Dong-ju pitched well for three consecutive games, but he could not achieve victory as he did not receive help from the other line.
Moon Dong-ju took the mound as a starting pitcher in the home game against Doosan Bears in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League held at Daejeon Hanwha Life Insurance Eagles Park on the 18th. Moon Dong-ju, who recorded his first quality start with 2 runs in 6 innings, including the KBO’s first 160km/h restraint in the last Gwangju KIA game, played well this day with 5⅔ scoreless innings.
He recorded a personal record of 2 hits and 8 strikeouts, a tie for the most, and the unfortunate part was that he had a rather large number of walks with 4. His highest speed was 159 km / h based on Trackman, and he threw a fast ball with a slider, curve, and changeup, tying up Doosan’s lineup. The 98 pitches he threw that day was also Moon Dong-ju’s most individual pitches.
Moon Dong-joo, who made a three-way strike in the first inning by turning the top batting line from Su-bin Jeong, Su-haeng Jo, and Seok-hwan Yang in a row with second baseman grounding and striking out, was hit with a double by leading Yang Eui-ji in the second inning, but Song Seung-hwan and Kang Seung-ho handled fly balls and struck out Rojas.

In the 3rd inning, leader Ahn Jae-seok was sent out with a straight walk, but Lee Yoo-chan struck out, Jeong Su-bin grounded, and Jo Su-haeng struck out to end the inning. In the 4th inning, after Yang Seok-hwan walked, Yang Eui-ji led a double hit to erase the runner, and Song Seung-hwan struck out and finished the inning without a major crisis.
After two outs in the 5th inning, Moon Dong-joo ended the inning without conceding a run with Jeong Su-bin’s ground ball from second baseman in a crisis that was faced with a walk by Ahn Jae-seok and a hit by Lee Yoo-chan. Moon Dong-ju, who came up in the 6th inning, struck out Jo Soo-haeng and Yang Seok-hwan in a row, then gave Yang Eui-ji a walk and was replaced by Han Seung-ju, completing his pitching that day. The Hanwha lineup was blocked by Doosan starter Choi Won-jun and came down from a 0-0 tie, so the victory had to be promised next.
In terms of rotation, Moon Dong-ju has to take the mound against LG on the 23rd after a 4-day break. Moon Dong-joo, who has been thoroughly managed since last year, such as innings and pitches, is expected to start twice a week for the first time. Before the game, manager Carlos Subero said, “We will discuss it after the game is over,” regarding Moon Dong-joo’s appearance on Sunday.
